Tracking
Choose the right tracking for your boat: 4G or Satellite?
A modern GPS tracker is an inexpensive insurance and a good security for every boat owner. But which technology is best suited for your needs?
The choice is often between a tracker that communicates via the 4G network and one that uses satellite communication. Here we explain the differences and help you make the right decision for a safe boating season.
Essentially, both types of trackers use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo or one of the geostationary satellite systems such as Iridium or Inmarsat. The crucial difference lies in how this position information is then sent to you as the boat owner.
Tracker with 4G
For the connected coastal sailor!
A 4G-based tracker is the smart and cost-effective choice for most boat owners who travel along coasts and in archipelagos. It works just like your mobile phone and connects to the usual mobile networks to send position data, alarms and other information to your app or computer.
If you are outside of mobile coverage, you will not receive any position data or other information sent to your app or computer until the tracker has mobile coverage again.
SweTrack Lite+
The powerful tracker in a small package!
Nordic Boat Security has chosen to sell the track transmitter Lite+ from the Swedish company SweTrack as we considered it to be exceptionally powerful and with more functions than competitors.
Satellite tracker
For the adventurer on the seven seas!
For long-distance sailors, professional mariners or those who have their boat in places completely or partially without mobile coverage, a satellite tracker is the only reliable solution. This type of tracker sends its position via a network of satellites, usually geostationary, which guarantees global coverage.
This security, however, comes at a higher price, both the tracking device and the subscription are significantly more expensive than a 4G tracker.
